Verbal Assault (Ed Bedrick & Larry Stangel)......$12.00
A spectator selects a playing card and then signs it. The magician
places the deck onto the table and asks the spectator to place their
signed card on top, and then to cut the pack and complete the cut so
as to completely lose the card somewhere in the middle. Without
any false moves the magician picks up the deck and ribbon spreads
the cards face up on the table showing that the signed selection has
completely vanished!
The magician then explains that there is still one way to determine
the chosen card, where upon he removes one card from the deck
calling it the "stool pigeon" card. Using the stool pigeon card to
scoop up the cards, the magician places the squared pack back on
the table leaving the stool pigeon card on top.
The magician now explains that he must resort to hypnotism in order
to determine the identity of the selected card. The performer
prepares a makeshift watch on a chain by attaching a plastic ribbon
to the back of the stool pigeon card and placing it into the empty
card box so the ribbon extends out through the top of the card box
as the flap to the box is closed.
The performer begins swinging the card box back and forth in front
of the spectator's eyes and then names a card out loud. But sadly
for the magician it is not the selected card. The performer then
refers back to the stool pigeon card as he inverts the card box
letting the ribbon hang downwards. While holding on to the card box
the performer uses his other hand to pull down on the ribbon causing
the stool pigeon card to talk and actually name the selected card!
The magician then explains that the stool pigeon card not only
verbally named the selected card be he also found it. So saying, the
performer removes the supposed stool pigeon card from the card
case but it is seen that it has transformed into the signed selected
card! The ribbon is now seen to be firmly attached to the chosen
card and there is no sign of the former stool pigeon card as he must
have flown the coop!
